As usual, Ghostscript came to the rescue (gs -sDEVICE=txtwrite -o output.txt input.pdf).

The code used to parse the resulting text file is a variation of the code I use to parse the results from Texas counties who publish results in a certain PDF format (Aransas, for example). I'm also realizing that I never actually pushed the code in question to the data-tx repo. Whoops.

The parsing was much easier, mostly because there's only one type of vote (Another pro for balloting by mail only).

There was no party information in the PDF file, and thus there is no party information in this CSV, either.
